"Turnover of around Rs 18,000 crore is fixed for 2015-16 and I hope it can be achieved with meticulous planning and execution," RINL CMD P Madhusudan said in a statement.

In 2013-14, RINL had posted 25 percent growth in turnover at Rs 13,527 crore. Madhusudan said the steel maker also needs to achieve 5 percent reduction in conversion cost in each shop floor toimprove profit margins.

The PSU targets 5 million tonnes of hot metal production in the current fiscal along with 4.9 million tonnes of liquid steel production.
